CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS DOWN-FILLED BAGS 1. Sponge spots with small amounts of MILD SOAP or SPECIAL DOWN-CLEANERS (examples: "Nu Down" and "Nikwax"). Water should be warm - NOT HOT and rinse area well. For general cleaning, SOAK in a large tub (bath or laundry sink). DRYING - A wet down bag is heavy and fill can come apart if not handled with care.

LET STAND for several hours in the bathtub. Then PRESS OUT as much water as possible.

DO NOT TWIST OR WRING. Then carefully lift out, spin in washer or let hang until damp. Warning: a wet down bag may unbalance washer. When damp, dry in a large tumble dryer on lowest heat setting with tennis balls or small, clean tennis shoes It may take several cycles. Sun bleaching can fade bag if left in sun too long. DRY CLEANING does not work as well as water and some dry-cleaning solvents ruin down. If your cleaner guarantees his solvent is Stoddard Solvent and won't damage down -- and if you know the route his children take to school, you still need to air out the bag VERY well after dry-cleaning because the fumes are unheathy. You'll have your head down in it on a cold day.
